Bravo played away in Lendava in the 15th round of the national championship, securing a victory. The final score was 1:0 for the visitors from Ljubljana, with the only goal scored by Milan Tučić. Just before the end of the match, there was a controversial situation, as Nafta believed they should have been awarded a penalty. However, that didn’t happen, and the team from Šiška took home the win.
After the match, Bravo’s coach Aleš Arnol commented: “We can be satisfied. In previous games, we saw that other teams also struggle towards the end of the match. Nafta changes significantly once they let go and concede a goal. The result was a bit unfair in the end, as the opponent didn’t have a single shot on goal. Besides the missed penalty, we had a one-on-one chance with the goalkeeper. In the first half, we played well, but in the second half, we lost possession too quickly, which was a key factor. Additionally, our squad isn’t very deep, so fatigue is showing before the international break.”
Aleš Arnol also addressed the controversial situation from the last minute of the match in Lendava: “Playing away is not easy for us anywhere. Even one point in Lendava would have been a good result. Based on our chances, we deserved all three points, and taking just one would have been undeserved. I won’t judge the situation because I didn’t see it well. It seemed like the opponent was looking for contact to get a penalty. I can’t give a professional opinion, as I’m not qualified for that and didn’t see it clearly. I believe VAR doesn’t disrupt the game’s rhythm. I watched the German and Austrian leagues, where I saw several examples of VAR in use. I think VAR is beneficial because every correct decision contributes to fairer football.”
